Dirt Behind Our Sisterhood [ MICHAENG ]

Chapter 10. Missing

Mina's POV :

We stayed in this position for a few minutes with our eyes locked into each other's.

My gaze traveled from her cornea down to her lips and then to her bra; I would love to see underneath it.

As the staring contest deepened, my breath became faster and shorter. I couldn’t help myself but lick my bottom lip as the picture of kissing her drove me crazy.

I got lost in my own thoughts and found myself slowly closing the gap between us. I was overwhelmed by my own feelings, so in a heartbeat, I claimed her lips.

She didn’t protest; she let me kiss her. It was just a soft kiss, much more gentle than before. I felt nothing but ecstasy until I felt my tears streaming down my face.

I don’t know why, perhaps because it feels so genuine. For the first time, I felt like she loves me too.

In the middle of our kiss, she abruptly pulled away and avoided my gaze.

“this is wrong” she said coldly and let go of herself from being cornered.

I held her wrist to stop her and hugged her from behind. I tightened my embrace and buried my face in her neck.

“what's stopping you from expressing yourself?”

“let's pretend this didn’t happen”

She just shrugged at my question and forcibly let go of herself from my embrace.

I was walking around at the mall to buy a new lego when I saw trash that kept attacking me.

It's Jeongyeon's ex-girlfriend who always ruins my mood, and she's with her melon best friend, Jihyo.

“I didn't know snakes could also be seen at the mall” she uttered emotionless and gave me an annoyed face

Here we go again with her drama. I just chuckled at what she said. She keeps blaming me because Jeongyeon doesn't want to reconcile with her.

I want to avoid her as much as I can, but she’s always attacking me for that reason. Why the hell would she blame me for the fact that her ex doesn't want her anymore?

After what happened to Chaeyoung and I in the bathroom, I have no intention of ruining my mood, so I walked past them.

“slut”

I got triggered by her word. It was barely a whisper, but I heard it clearly. I lost my temper as I looked at her, raising my brow.

“slut?” I playfully chuckled

“it's okay to be a slut rather than to look like a dog who keeps chasing someone who doesn't want her”

“no, you’re worse than a dog” I gritted my teeth

I saw how she got pissed off at my sentence as she was about to slap me

“try to slap me Nayeon and I won’t hesitate to destroy your face with my barehand”

Jihyo stood between us as she held both of our hands with a look of concern on her face.

“stay away from Jeongyeon, Mina”

“she's the one who keeps approaching me, Nayeon”

“because you’re flirting with her”

She just kept telling me that over and over again to the point I got used to it.

I even hate it when some other people think that we were fighting over Jeongyeon. I would never pick a fight with anyone over someone unless it's Chaeyoung.

“enough, you're always fighting over Jeongyeon. Aren't you tired?” Jihyo meddles

I gave Jihyo a disgust face “I’m not” I emphasized

My gaze went back to Nayeon “this is so nonsense, Nayeon. If you are done talking, I’ll excuse myself” I faked a smile.

I haven't entered the house yet, but I could already hear Chaeyoung's laugh as if she's with someone. If it's Somi, my mood will worsen further.

“oh, hi Mina”

My smile crossed my lips when I saw Jeongyeon sitting at the dining table.

However, it didn't last long, and I quickly took it back when I saw Somi holding the cookie that she baked while approaching them.

I rolled my eyes before taking my step “who told you are allowed to use the kitchen?”

“it's my fault, don't blame her” Chaeyoung defended

“you can join us if you want to”

I had no choice but to agree, even though I knew I would get jealous of the two. I wasn't wrong because my blood rushed to my head when Somi fed Chaeyoung.

“how was it?” she asked smiling

“you’re so good at baking, babe”

Babe? That's the most cringe endearment that I’ve ever heard. It makes me puke.

Jeongyeon also gave me a cookie, but I didn't eat it.

“hey, what's wrong?” Jeongyeon asked that brought me back to reality, then I realized that the cookies were crushed in my hand

Jeongyeon raised her both eyebrows, waiting for an answer. I just smiled.

I noticed that there was dirt on Chaeyoung's lips, so I swiftly offered her a tissue as Somi did the same.

I deep sighed when she chose Somi’s tissue over mine

“I didn't know you were this sweet to you sister” Jeongyeon utter

“anyway, Jeongyeon, you’re not looking for your sister anymore?” Chaeyoung asked that saved me from this awkward atmosphere

“it's been 21 years, so I don't know if she's still alive or not, but I didn't give up”

“what if she's still alive? What if she's looking for you too?” Somi asked

“I don't know where else I can find her”

“besides, she's 21 years old now, so I don't know what her face is”

I always wonder how it happened that her sister has been missing for this long. She didn't say anything about it other than that. Maybe she doesn't want to talk about it yet.
